"A county assembly may make any laws that are necessary for the effective performance of the functions and exercise of the powers of the county government" ˷Art 185.

The Members are expected to work together toward a common goal, and may work without the restrictions of formality.

Committees perform specific roles on behalf of the Assembly.
